Výstupy z učení

This survey literature seminar covers major developments and authors in the field of American poetry, fiction and drama from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. This course is a seminar, meaning that students will be engaged in active work during class meetings, and is not a lecture (passive sitting and listening to the lecture). The course aims to get students comfortable with close reading methodology on all types of texts: prose, poetry, scripts, comics, and radio drama. It also familiarlizes students with the basic technical components of analyzing a text.
Those who have attended the course will become familiar with the most important trends in American literature of the late 19th to mid-20th century. Students will have read a selection of primary source materials. The texts selected for the course change each semester, and the relevant texts are available on the course Moodle page.
